Man accused of touching woman’s hair on Metro arrested again

A pardoned Jan. 6 rioter left court and was arrested again moments later in the parking lot of an Arlington courthouse. Bryan Betancur was in court Monday on an assault and battery charge after allegedly grabbing a woman’s hair on the Silver Line Metro train. Metro Transit Police confirm videos circulating on social media are part of their investigation into Betancur’s assault and battery case. Seconds after walking out, he was taken back into custody. When asked why Betancur was being arrested, Metro Transit Police on the scene told FOX 5 he has an outstanding warrant on an unrelated charge. He was then placed in the passenger seat of a cruiser. FOX 5 DC has reached out to Metro Transit Police for more details on the unrelated charge. Betancur is expected back in court on May 8 on the assault and battery charge.
